"I'm still standing".....

........as Elton would say.

Not been around much of late, I stick my head around the door once a week or so. After all the crap we all suffered from covid, we got through chrimbo into 2022, only for both of us to hit some minor health issues. Work is full-on as always, and back in Feb, we decided to buy some chickens, so not only do I have all the gardening (work) I have the large kitchen garden also for our own use, so after one crazy idea, we bought 9 POL...then yesterday we've ordered 5 more. 😲

The coop is over 20 years old so I decided to build a new one for our girls. Along with everything else we have to do we seem to have less time for what we want to do. I think so far this year I've only used the BBQ once, one thing we missed when we were thinking about having the chooks who would look after them whenever we wanted time off? hols and any events we wanted to attend....so we had made a rod for our own backs. ☹️

We do have a very good friend who will stand in and look after them for the odd weekend if she is available.

On a brighter note, we are having family & friends for a BBQ on the 16th of this month, it started off with maybe 12/14......at the last count it's looking like it will be 26, that's not counting us.

My head is spinning I'll have to use everything I've got, the offset, Weber & the ProQ. Rosie has put together all the dishes, main & side dishes along with a whole salmon.
The meat side will be 4 racks of ribs, tri-tip, chicken x2, gammon, couple of fatties, the list is still growing.

I'll do my best to stay on top of it all, and will be about a bit more in the future, and who knows we may even meet up at a tailgate?? happy BBQing folks.πŸ‘
